This is the perfect SIMPLE shopping cart, except for the fact that it has not yet been upgraded catch up with the latest Joomla releases. 1.5 just doesn't cut it anymore.
I hope they are considering an upgrade. I would gladly pay.

I thought I had found the solution for a shopping cart on my site. Everything is wonderful - but there is one big flaw. When the thumbnail image is clicked on - the big image opens on another page and to navigate back from there is hopeless. It would have been nice to have a popup or lightbox. I did notice on the demo that there is this effect and I seached the forums for how this could be attained, but there are no answers. A shame. For this one simple problem I can´t use this, otherwise good extension for my site.
this component is great, but must have notified by email, must have both options, paypal as well as offline mode, thats via email,
will be great if you could bring this in future, because your cart looks great and ajax is superb,
please arrange also directly by email, no google or paypal mode,

Rokquickcart is good in many ways.
However, due to compatibility issues with Google Chrome, it does not show cart images of what you have added to your cart, only text filepaths. This looks bad, and leaves the customer wondering whether they are purchasing the actual item they wanted.
Rocket Theme have not offered a fix for this as yet, even on their paid subscription support forum, of which I am a member. They are oddly reluctant to comment on this glaring issue.
So unfortunately, as growing numbers of internet users migrate to Google Chrome, it leaves this potentially good extension, somewhat redundant.

I agree this is great, simple extension. However, like others I need an offline payment solution. RokQuickCart only offers PayPal and Google checkout.
However, I looked into de code and saw that SimpleCart (a javascript cart) in which RockQuickCart is based, already offers an additional checkout option: Email. I don't know why the people at RocketTheme decided to not include it, but I think maybe with a little coding you may be able to activate the option that is already there.
I'm not a coder and can't do it by myself.
Maybe someone want to get an eye on that code?

RokQuickCart is an excellent extension:
- easy to install
- easy to configure (settings are made in few minutes!)
- customizable: shipping, vouchers, payment, photo
- very good for a little shop, when there are few items
I didn't know RokquickCart and is was a happy surprise

After attempting to use several of the top shopping carts for my site, and after several days of struggling through carts and check out buttons, I discovered Rokquickcart. It simply Rocks.
I only needed a simple button for my site, to land my customers to a check out shopping cart. Dah. You think it would be easy to find, right?
My only dilemma with Rokquickcart is that I need to learn how to adjust some of the inner dynamics....code.....to allow for multiple categories, because I only have one item per joomla article. I dont want all of my items on one page.
The fellow reviewer, Kokujin (as of last december), figured out a way to do this. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Installed in minutes, just the ticket for our non-profit Chamber of Commerce.
We desperately need categories, I wish kokujin would have described a little more how "mod it a bit to have multiple Categories" looks.
Since it is not a "mod", it is a component and plugin, what was done to make categories work (I would think edit component and mysql).

This looks like a good little cart, but there are a few problems with it;
Thumbnail transparency issues is a pain;

Sure you can have white backgrounds, but it's ugly...
The other problem is a security one which I read about in the forum while trying to solve the above issue.
Other than that it is a nice simple cart which may suit some people.
Thank you rockettheme for producing this.

I installed and configured this product in a very short time. I set up my 2 products and it really looked great and I was a happy camper until I tried to test purchase and discovered there was no offline payment option. That was my fault it said it only used PayPal and Google Checkout but I just assumed that would be in addition to a offline payment option. Most of my users will not use PayPal or Google but are very good about mailing a check. This is a killer for me so I will have to use a different Shopping Cart that has this option.
This is a nice looking, easy to use simple cart and I was anxious to look at it for a project. Unfortunately, this component is based on simplecartjs and it is quite easy to change prices and such using Firefox and the Firebug plugin. While it may not seem like a big deal to the creators, it would require a number of reversals in accounting and either PayPal or Google Checkout - neither of which is a trivial affair. While the average customer may not know how to do this, the instructions are easily found on the web and therefore I wouldn't use it for any ecommerce project until this vulnerability was fixed. Pity, because it fits a niche that isn't filled by more complex products like VirtueMart.
I always thought customers should have a choice to how they would make payment... Google and PayPal are great to have, but it would be better to have both as a choice for the customer. There should be an option to have both Google and PayPal for choices for the customer to use to pay for the product.
Less complicated than Virtuemart but complicated enough for home businesses.
Very configurable, although Shipping by weight would be advantageous. (wonder if it is a quick edit?).
Flexible enough to be linked directly from the menu. With an extension that places components in Articles, the posibilities are endless.
I have tested many carts and this is by far the best that I have ever used !

I have used many extensions and there were some great ones. But I can't remember the last time I was this happy. In fact, I'm so happy that I actually created an account to write a review.
RokQuickCart is a very simple and beautiful extension to use. If you sell less than 10 items at your website, it's a must.
I hope the developer continues working on this extension and add features such as promotional code, discounts when you buy more than two items, and a module so you can put the "Add to Cart" button on any of your content.
I would definitely pay money for this cart.
